TEST DRIVE MEME

If you'd like to apply to Snowblind and would like to test the waters first or get a sample set up for your application, this meme is for you! We've even provided some prompts for you to use if you want (but feel free to make up your own). Here's how it works.
✭ Reply to this entry with a character you're considering apping into the game. You can include the name of your character and the fandom in your subject line.
✭ Comment around to others on the meme, whether you're in the game already or not.
✭ Now you have a sample ready for your application!
✭ So go reserve and apply when reservations and applications are open.
✭ Seriously, do it.


Network Prompts
ONE: IT WON'T BE LONG NOW...
Well, you made a mistake. You spent too long searching around, or you ran outside near the end of the day for just one more thing, and now you've been locked out. You can search around all you want, but the best shelter you can hope for is pressing against the side of a sealed up building. You do still have your tablet, though. Maybe someone on the network can give you some advice, or at least some comfort while you wait for hypothermia to set in.

TWO: CABIN FEVER
Maybe you didn't want that mistake of getting caught outside to happen again, but now you've ended up staying too long in one location, and cabin fever has set in. Maybe you're taking to the network to try and ignore the hallucinations. Maybe you want to tell everyone that you've figured out they're all in on your kidnapping. Maybe you ended up wandering off and now you'd really like to know if anyone can check back in the place you were at for your pants.


Action Prompts
THREE: AN UNEXPECTED MEETING
You're going about your business searching what seems like it might be an especially promising house--it's fully intact and there's even a working fireplace with some wood! It looks like someone else has the same idea, though, and you've run into them in the middle of your search. Do you share the potential wealth or try to kick them out? On the other hand, maybe you know who this is, or maybe you're just glad to actually see another person for the first time in ages.

FOUR: GOOD MORGUE-NING
You've just woken up in a morgue after dying in one unfortunate way or another. You have no idea where you are beyond that, but your tablet is insisting you can't stay here, so you should probably get out of here pretty quickly. Of course, bringing people back from the dead isn't a perfect science, so you're missing something important to you. Maybe you've lost your voice, maybe you can't remember where you're from, maybe you can't remember where you are right now. It looks like someone else is nearby, though. Maybe they can help you out?

He was one of the most famous saxophone players in the world! Honestly. What do you listen to, then?

[ If you say goddamned Lil Wayne she is going to find you and kick you in the TEETH ]
genreblindness: (Slow going again.)

Whatever's on the radio, mostly.

[When he said he likes to listen to music he meant that sometimes he turns on the car radio while driving.]
hugeballs: (so uh no funny business)

That's...that's not really recreational music use.

[ SIIIGH MAYBE MOVIES WILL BE MORE EXCITING? ]

What genre do you like to watch?
genreblindness: (Entry #8 will be posted soon.)

[He relaxes visibly at the subject change. You're making a terrible mistake by letting the film student talk about movies here.]

I'm not really attached to any single genre specifically, but if I had to pick one it'd be sci-fi.
hugeballs: (we pack and deliver)

[ ALIENS ALIENS ALIENS ALIENS ALIENS ]

Oh! So you do have some taste, after all.
genreblindness: (I don't like watching it.)

[personal profile] genreblindness 2015-05-25 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you approve.

[NOT THAT HE NEEDS YOUR APPROVAL!!]
hugeballs: (every step I get to)

[ EVERYONE NEEDS MY APPROVAL ]

Favourite movie?
genreblindness: (Feeling very disorganized.)

[personal profile] genreblindness 2015-05-25 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Kiiiind of a boring answer, but Star Wars. Can't beat the classics.
genreblindness: (Been looking at tapes all day.)

[personal profile] genreblindness 2015-05-28 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
The first. Empire's not bad, either.
hugeballs: (every step I get to)

[personal profile] hugeballs 2015-05-28 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
A classic tale of good versus evil, and a hero's journey. I can't say I fault you, but I certainly prefer Empire.
genreblindness: (Waiting to see)

[personal profile] genreblindness 2015-05-28 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's fair. I think really Empire's the better movie in an objective sense, but I just have a soft spot for New Hope, so...
hugeballs: (hit me on my burner prepaid wireless)

Of course. Some things are nostalgic, or they just resonate with you. And being able to tell the difference between fondness and actual quality shows a degree of perception many don't have, so congratulations. I mean, really, when it comes to favourites, 'quality' shouldn't ever be a factor, but it's still an important skill to have.
genreblindness: (Will post it tomorrow.)

[This is pretty much the only time anyone has ever described Jay as perceptive. Probably also the last time.]

Uh, thanks. I mean, I studied film stuff back in college, so. Yeah.
hugeballs: (some I some I let go)

[personal profile] hugeballs 2015-06-01 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's important to make the young people feel good about themselves! Even if everything you're saying is bullshit. If she says he's perceptive he'll have the confidence to be perceptive. LOGIC. ]

Oh? Educated, are we?
